The SCSI driver posted to alt.sources will not let you boot
from the SCSI disk, so you will also need a second controller
and harddisk.

If you have some bucks left, I'd scrap them together for 
an Adaptec 1542B bus mastering SCSI host adapter. 
It is much more expensive than the ST or the Future Domain,
but it will make your system fly, especially when running *ix.

I am pretty sure Intel Unix supports this board, as the top
Intel 386/486 machines come installed with this card.
